Book Overview

Measurements of Twins is a book written by Edward Lee Thorndike in 1905. It is a comprehensive study of the physical and mental measurements of twins, with a focus on determining the extent to which heredity and environment influence human development. The book presents a detailed analysis of the data collected from a large sample of twins, including measurements of height, weight, head circumference, sensory acuity, and intelligence.
